Hi Andy,
Yes, QT Pro is needed, good investment for $29.99; of course, if you have
little or no $$, then Audacity or comparable is the way to go. Note to James
(original poster): QT will save your audio as uncompressed (44.1K) AIFF
audio (despite the .MOV suffix) - simply use iTunes to convert to MP3 if
that is your target format.
Best regards,
Dana
